The GOP is trying to push this idea to stop Bridgegate.
The problem: Christies office started the event, his people moved it forward.
Clintons office did not start the attack, her people were the ones who died.
Benghazi is an event which both parties had issues, lack of funding, privatizing of the protection, and the one question which has never been answered ( why was the amb. there in the first place?)
Yep her people died and she does not thinks it makes a difference
Morell testified that he personally removed the reference to Islamic terroristsm from the final talking points because, he said, they did not want to offend them further.
Clinton and Obama put out a statement in Arabic to the press and their broadcasts that apologized to them for the video!
Do you realize that there were other events going on in the world other then the attack in Benghazi.
Isn't it interesting how almost no one had heard of that stupid video until the Obama administration and Hillary brought it up?
No one heard of the video, there were violent protests in Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt and many other countries. The video was released in early September. The Pakistani Minister offered a bounty for the producer of the video.
The video really isn't the main issue although I am sure how you can see how some would be led to believe these were protests over the video. The fact remains that the CIA provided the unclassified talking points that indicated the attack grew out of a protest.
Quote:
Protesters scaled the wall of the heavily-fortified US embassy in Cairo Tuesday,
angry over a film that Egyptian media reported was produced in the US and mocks
the prophet Muhammad.Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the embassy,
alternating religious slogans with chants against the US or President Obama. Some climbed over the wall and tore down the American flag, raising instead a black flag with an Islamic inscription
that is often associated with Islamic extremists.

If your read the article you will find that the 19 are on top of previous deaths that occurred earlier. The events in Cairo that occurred prior to the attack in Benghazi were connected to the video.

We're supposed to have intelligence - perhaps it's an oxymoron. "Bad intelligence" isn't intelligence. They can't just assume that Benghazi was also because of a video. But they grabbed it as a lifeline, for political expediency. THEN, to make it more authentic sounding, the administration put out an "apology" for Arabic public consumption.
I think that the administration knew, Morell knew and told them, but they were all scrambling to save their hides and this was a convenient red herring of sorts -- a very convenient diversion that served as a life vest to the administration. The fact that their spokesman, Rice, Obama, and even Hillary ("What difference does it make?") still hung on to the video story long after, is proof that they did "protest too much", and were giving us the old line for very obvious reasons.

Intelligence is far from an exact science and is almost never perfect. The video explanation has already been provided, see above posts.
They have spent enough time on this and if you aren't satisfied after 2 years of investigations and hearings you never will. All you have is opinion or "I think" but little in the way of facts.
